Meaning & Origin

A queen.

Kween is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, a phonetic spelling of Queen — from the Old English cwēn meaning 'woman,' 'wife,' or 'queen.' As a given name it is pure aspiration: a declaration that this girl was born to rule, worn with the same bold pride as names like Royal and King.
